13 random facts about me! ;)

Hey everyone!
So I realized, you guys don't really know that much about me, so I've created a list of random facts about me so you can get to know me better.

1. I am a vegetarian.
2. My dream is to one day travel to Alaska, and see the aurora borealis.

3. I have green eyes.
4. I love to write letters to my penpals.
5. I love super spicy food, and put fire sauce all over mexican food.

6. I love to drink tea (I've been thinking, would anyone be interested in me hosting a tea exchange with you guys? Do you even drink tea? :))
7. My favourite colour is purple.
8. One of my favourite movies is Frozen (my favourite character is probably Elsa, but I really like Olaf and Anna too.) ;)

9. I love Krispy Kreme doughnuts! Mm mm! :)
10. I love astronomy. I love to learn about anything and everything in space. But sadly I live in the city so you can't really see the stars that well or see the milky way. :/

11. I'm weird, silly, and clumsy.
12. I'm the only person in my family with red hair.
13. I absolutely love cats! I even have cat leggings. If you refer back to fact 10 about me, you'll notice that I like astronomy. The cats on the leggings are jumping through space. I told you I was weird. ;)

Here's a pic of my leggings. ;)

So did you guys like this kind of post?

Orange Fishtail bracelets for orange day

Hey everyone! So today I have a tutorial on how to make an orange fishtail bracelet. I am specifically making these for orange day coming up. :)
I don't have a video because I didn't have enough room on my phone to make one, but I do have a few pictures and I hope those are helpful.

You don't really need this many bands, I just grabbed a handful.

If you notice, you can see my shadow taking the picture. :P

This is how you start off. Just take one of the bands and make sort of a figure 8 on your fingers.

Then on top of that figure 8 add two more bands.

Ok, so then you take that figure 8 band and pull it over top of the other two bands.

Does that make sense?

Then add another band and pull the bottom band over again.

You keep doing this until you get the desired length.

Then all you have to do is hook the S hook to both ends.

 

Pull the bottom ring over the top rings like seen in this picture. ;)

 

This is the finished product.

Do you like them?

Do you understand how to make them? If you don't I can go into more detail and help you. :)

Have a great day!

Mug exchange goodies

Hey everyone! So recently I participated in a mug exchange through a blog I read, The Enchanting Rose! It was lots of fun, because I got to know 2 new girls. :)
Today I'm sharing with you my goodies I got from Margaret-Sophie!
 

I just love this mug! It is so cute, and I love how it has a little spoon to stir my tea. :)

I really like all the flowers on it. It's so me.

Isn't this washcloth so cute?

 

I really like all the colours on this cloth! They're all so different, yet they go together so well.

 

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the hot cocoa, apple cider, tea, biscotti, or dark chocolate she got me because I was so excited to eat them, I didn't think of taking pictures beforehand. ;) 

Thank you guys for stopping by! I had so much fun participating in this mug exchange!

Have a great day!

They're doing this thing called give thanks x7 challenge 2014. So starting November 1st, Everyday, you write down 7 things you are grateful for. You do this for a month, and you send them a letter with your 7 things per day. They will then send you a little surprise, assuming you sent it in by the deadline, December 4th!
Here is the link to the challenge: Give thanks x7 challenge 2014

The Pink Challenge!

Hey everyone! So Jessica Joy over at (Almost) Perfectly Pink is having a pink challenge to celebrate one year of blogging! So I have decided to post pink pictures I found that I thought were really pretty! (Pink is one of my favourite colours. :))
Enjoy!

Oooo pretty!

Mmmmmmm!

Love this picture!

WHOA! That is a lot of cotton candy!

I always use Toadette when I play MarioKart! :)

This photo's obviously not real, but I thought it was pretty anyway. ;)

Yum!
